What is Magick?"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." --Arthur C. ClarkeThe evidence coming through from experiment in quantum physics blows the preconceived notions from Newtonian physics of a static universe out of the water. There are two experiments which are absolutely amazing to me. One is the double-slit experiment; the other is the observer/detector effect. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/02/980227055013.htmEinstein’s equation, E = mc2, says that energy and matter are the same thing. Matter, the things you can see and touch, is just an energy wave captured in a moment of time by your eye and brain. What you see as the world around you is really just a snapshot of an energy wave that is moving all the time. Once you look at it, you see what it is, but only at the moment you look at it. In a fraction of an instant, the wave has moved on. That is why skeet shooters must “lead” or aim ahead of what they are looking at to hit their target: What was “true” a moment ago isn’t “true” now. Learn about Schrödinger's Cat. Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Common-Sense Quantum Physics: Principles, Interpretations, and New Age Speculations (and Christian Theology) www.asa3.org/ASA/education/views/qm2-cr.htmFrom a purely scientific point of view, the most probable answer to the “what is magic?” question, is simply that magic is a form of energy. Even individuals with a limited scientific background are familiar with a few forms of energy; kinetic (movement), thermal (heat), electric, magnetic, nuclear, potential. Energy can be found all around us, and it is used to accomplish many impressive feats. Everything from boiling water to lighting cities to nuclear explosions, relies on energy. Some forms of energy are easily observed or measured, while other forms are more discrete and require specialized methods and equipment to detect. Magical energy falls in this latter category, with only a very small percentage of individuals being able to detect and utilize it; these being wizards and witches. According to my theory, magic is a unique form of energy that can infiltrate and manipulate matter in order to alter its nature in infinite ways. As with many other forms of energy, magic can be described as being an electromagnetic wave, which means that each quantum (quantity of energy) has a specific frequency, and the energy of this quantum is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. As you can see in the following image, the shorter the wavelength, the more energy can be emitted. sites.google.com/site/wizardingscience/lessons/lesson-1

What a load of crap and lies! Consciousness is a phenomenon about which science understnds very little. So is the "zero-point field", or quantum vacuum state. But there's no mystical connection between the two which can only be discerned by scientific illiterates. This is just a modern reincarnation of reading the future in a pile of sheep guts. I'm a firm believer in untapped human potential. But I'm wary of people who say they've found the way to wondrous powers - they are all frauds, and half of them know it (yet some of them have a bit of worthwhile wisdom). I don't even discount the idea of capacities that arise from a special state of mind, like a stilling of discursive thought. But I reject the idea that there is some way to circumvent the lawful order of nature. There is nothing outside the purview of science.
